Hi @all, i can confirm that there ist a problem with the battery state. the sysctl hw.acpi.battery.life on my system goes only down NOT up again. this wrong number seems persistent during a reboot. i tested this, shortly. the battery life after reboot was 97% with power supply plugged in all the times. after a clean boot the system camed up with a battery.life of 97% ( power supply plugged in :O ). this seemed silly to me. i rebooted again. again just 97%. i pulled the plug, the battery.life is gone down one percent after some minutes and the battery.time was correct calculated. i plugged the power supply in again and the battery.life counter goes not up again. i use some time conky to monitor and display the battery data. not sure if that is related but if i have Xorg and conky running during the make world the system crashes silently. this behaviouir showed up after i configured conky to monitor the battery states. during the actual build i have disabled conky to figure if that will crash the system or something else. the system is a samsung n310 (Intel N270, 2Gig Memory) with one or two week old /usr/src. actually a new make world with updated sources is running. this will take a half day or so. :-) i detected this behavior now and it may got incorporated in the PRERELEASE/STABLE-Code in the last two month. before that time i had a right behavior, that showed correct numers for charging/discharching. i searched already in the net for solutions or sources of this behaviour. nothing related found. may be i have overlooked something? any ideas to solve this or advisories for further tests? many thanks best regards m. --=20 =3D =3D =3D http://michael-schuh.net/ =3D =3D =3D Projektmanagement - IT-Consulting - Professional Services IT Michael Schuh Postfach 10 21 52 66021 Saarbr=FCcken phone: 0681/8319664 mobil: 0175/5616453 @: m i c h a e l . s c h u h @ g m a i l . c o m =3D =3D =3D Ust-ID: DE251072318 =3D =3D =3D
